Endless Scroll

In this freewheeling episode of Endless Scroll, we examine the new Taylor Swift announcement, the VMAs, and where they fit into society without a monoculture. Plus, our favorite music from August. Michael gives out his gamer tag on air, Eli learns what PUBG is, Miranda talks about Cake, and Eric reveals their hours logged in Stardew Valley. It's a good time. 

We start this week's show interrogating a song we think is bad. Then, we have a lengthy conversation about the way forums like Rate Your Music and /mu affect the canonization of music and inform people's taste. Music, the internet, and where those two things intersect bay-beeee. 

This week, we tackle the catalog of Sub Pop Records. Specifically, how the label's sound has changed through each decade, what it means to be an Indie Rock Institution, 2000s indie vs. 90s indie, the function labels like Sub Pop serve today, and our favorite records they've ever put out. 

This week we look back at some bands who Had A Moment.   

On this week's episode, we dive back into our mailbag and answer listener questions on everything from album sequencing to our "celebrity" encounters. Plus, our takes on Beyoncé's Rennaisance. 

This week, we discuss the new singles from dreamo-turned-vibe mongers Turnover, and wonder what's going on over there. Then, we review the new Florist album. Lastly, we each plug some of our favorite records we heard in July. It's a packed ep! 

This week, your four favorite buckaroos take on the music of country-pop icons, The Chicks. We talk about two of their albums and several singles, interrogate the sound and vibe of Nineties country, and wonder whether any modern artist could be genuinely cancelled the way The Chicks were for speaking out against the Iraq War. Plus, some 1975 chatter. 

A patron of the show asked that we talk about Radiohead. However, Radiohead’s discography is far too complicated for a simple rundown of each record. Instead, we brought in an expert to discuss the band more broadly. We’re joined this week by UPROXX’s Cultural Critic and the author of This Isn’t Happening: Radiohead’s Kid A and the Beginning of the 21st Century, Steven Hyden. With Steve, we discuss how our experiences with the band vary, their legacy, and where we see their influence on music today. Steve has a new book out in September about Pearl Jam. You can find out more and preorder it here. 

This week, Eric, Eli, and Michael look back at June in music by each discussing an album they liked from the last month. Plus, they review the new album from Soccer Mommy and play an Alex G themed game to celebrate his new single. 

It's our Albums of the Year (So Far) episode for 2022! We did things differently this time, though, and included music that didn't come out this year, but that we're just getting into in 2022. 

Following Eli's controversial tweet that The Sidekicks are "the most overrated underrated band," we decided to dive into the cult-adored indie-punk group to explore the music they made and the lasting impact they've had on the world they came from. We're joined by returning guest Mo Troper, singer-songwriter, power-pop pundit and longtime Sidekicks-head. 

This week's episode is dedicated to a very Endless Scroll-core band: Joyce Manor. We discuss our feelings on the band and their new album, 40 Oz. to Fresno. We also unpack what exactly makes an album an Endless Scroll 4 for 4. Plus, an update on our Camp Trash iTunes Challenge.

The title says it all this week, folks. Since albums from '97 turn 25 this year, we went through and picked three of our favorites each & talked about why we like them. 

This week, with Miranda off to work on the next Endless Scroll zine, Eric, Eli & Michael do some album review housekeeping. After discussing the hushed & divisive new Alex G single, we give our thoughts on the massive new albums from Ethel Cain, Wilco, and Kendrick Lamar. 

This week we review 'Come Home The Kids Miss You,' the new album from Jack Harlow, and discuss him as a figure in music. Can this man we're told is charming win over our hosts? Then, we each pick some of our favorite maligned pop songs; Songs that aren't quite guilty pleasures, we know they're bad, but we like them anyway.  

Hello! We had recorded an episode with a guest we know you all like this week, but due to technical difficulties, that episode won't be out until next month. Instead, this week's episode is an unlocked one from our bonus feed. Here is its original description: We're back with another bonus episode! This time we're here to discuss the discography of Arctic Monkeys. Some are revisiting, some are experiencing for the very first time, some are telling anecdotes about their ex boyfriends. You guess who is who. We also discuss: the death of The It Girl, spelling in songs, Alex Turner's greasy vibe, and much much more!              

Originally recorded as a bonus episode, Miranda, Eli and Michael's dive into the Wonder Years was just too damn good to hold from the main feed. The two pop-punk Defenders and Michael, a Suppy dilettante, ventured back to the band's "first" three albums, commenting on what they meant at the time to the scene and ourselves, and analyzing how they hold up now. Get stoked on it!!

This week we're joined by Chris Deville, managing editor of Stereogum, to discuss new albums by Girlpool, MJ Lenderman, and Prince Daddy and the Hyena. Plus, some hosts discuss shows they saw this weekend, and Michael reviews the Wilc-O's cereal on air. 

In celebration of 420, Michael and Eli bring you a discussion about weed, music, and where they intersect. 

This week we're joined by returning guest Arielle Gordon. Arielle is a writer with bylines at Pitchfork, Stereogum, Bandcamp, and more. We discuss the latest Machine Gun Kelly album and look at the state of the "pop-punk revival." Plus, reviews of new albums by Father John Misty and Wet Leg.
